It is in just the right spot for a much needed rest stop on the local stagecoach line, and Hogue uses this to his advantage. He builds a house and makes money off the stagecoach passengers. Hildy, a prostitute from the nearest town, moves in with him. Hogue has everything going his way until the advent of the automobile ends the era of the stagecoach.

Sarah works as a prostitute on the Reeperbahn in Hamburg. Her brother Markus and his best friend Djängo keep afloat with petty criminal deals. One day, Uffuk, Sarah's "pimp," demands his money back from Markus. War is declared. Anything goes.
